Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The one-plus-one use of force standard suggests that officers may use a higher level of force than the suspect is currently using, but only one level higher, to gain control of the situation. Abby's use of a compliance tool in response to a physical assault is an example of applying this standard appropriately to control the suspect.
